Spare a thought for arena staff around the world who aren't wrestling fans. Those security guards must see a lot of strange things that don't make sense to them, like grown men dressing up in fancy outfits or Stone Cold running around the hallways giggling like a kid with Edge and Christian.

Confused? Well, picture this: Edge, Christian and Austin have always played a game backstage called 'Don't Look At Me'. The childish rules dictate that one man says another can't look his way for a random period of time, and the challenged party must do everything in their power not to make eye contact.

Suddenly, we understand why current WWE stars take PS4 and Xbox consoles on the road nowadays.

Edge and Christian shared this story on their podcast, and the former tag-team even remembered pranking Austin with the game right before he was hoisted onto The Undertaker's cross (sorry, "symbol") in 1998.
